Well, finally after 30 hours of gameplay spanning 3 months, my DA2 screenshot collection is complete. 740 screens in total, not a bad effort. I know I've been quite critical of the game, but once I got over my disappointment it's not actually that bad. I treated it more like ME2; a collection of smaller stories loosely tied together by a growing threat in the background. It's kinda like a collection of fantasy novels in a way. I still really enjoy the characters though, yes, even Fenris. Gotta love that voice actor. And this time I even managed to save Bethany and she came back as a Grey Warden to help me!

I don't know how many people know of this, but there's a facebook game called [link=http://apps.facebook.com/dragonagelegends/]Dragon Age Legends[/link]. You can unlock DA2 stuffs with it. It's not that great but it passes the time, and free stuff is always good.

Targeted by a vicious criminal cartel that are hunting "the blood of the Hawke," you must put an end to their relentless attacks. Leave Kirkwall, and journey to an ancient Grey Warden prison in order to find the source of the aggression and uncover the harsh truth about the Hawke lineage. Playable from any point in the DAII campaign, face all new darkspawn, forge a powerful new weapon and come face to face with an ancient horror.

The thing I liked most was how Bioware talked about putting Strategy back into their combat so it isn't a total clusterkriff.

One of the biggest problems was the spawning waves that hit you from literally out of thin air. So what does Bioware do to put strategy back in? Make an enemy that clones itself so that it attacks in waves.

I missed the part where Genlocks were seven feet tall and looked like Lord of the Rings Trolls.

So I just got to that Radcliffe village or whatever it was called in DA, and I accepted the guy's request to defend the village against the zombies. Sten was all, "there's no darkspawn here, why are we doing this?" and I responded with a persuade option, saying that we needed Arl Eamon's help. Then Morrigan was like, "helping villagers is so pointless!" and I was like "..."

I ended up gaining +2 approval with Sten and -5 with Morrigan. I swear, I'm bringing Leilana and my dog with me the next time I do these paragon quests -_-

Morrigan is stupid evil. Keep some generic gifts on hand to bribe her back into liking you.

I keep Morrigan out of my party for as much as I can early on, swapping her for Leliana as soon as I get her in Lothering and not using her in Redcliffe. But even if I do have her in my party all the time and she dissaproves of everything I do I still can always get her to 100% approval with gifts. I find it hard to make my party members not like me since I shower them with gifts every chance I get. I feel like a politician.
